Cup Final 1921 Greatest Event in Football History
Stamford Bridge hosts the FA Cup Final between Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Overview
Heavy April showers didn't dampen the spirits of the 72,000-strong crowd at Stamford Bridge for the 1921 FA Cup Final - though for the players the boggy pitch proved a challenge in the first half. The Wolves' goalie, Noel George, valiantly defends his goal until a shot from Spurs' Jimmy Dimmock gets through and seals a victory. An unrestrained crowd clamour to see King George V present the cup to the victors.
